Another juror in the Jodi Arias murder trial has come forward on HLN and said she feels Arias planned the murder of Travis Alexander for a long, long time.The prosecution never proved the murder was premeditated and Arias had already admitted killing Alexander so the only thing the jury had to decide was it premeditated.

It is obvious the jury ignored the judges orders not to watch media coverage of the trial because all of them are coming forward and saying the same thing HLN was saying throughout the trial that Jodi Arias planned the murder.Every jury member who has gone on camera is filled with hatred for Jodi Arias and this is something HLN was bound and determined to sell to their audience and it is obvious it worked.

Anonymous: What premeditation facts were proven beyond a reasonable doubt? I saw that one juror #6 again and the first thing she said was Martinez proved premeditation. No he didn't. He suggested a lot of things, but he didn't have any facts to back up his suggestions the murder was pre-planned. IMO the juror was too dumb to understand what the jury instructions said, or she took one look at Jodi and realized and hated her from the beginning. She kept mentioning Jodi didn't show any remorse. The trial was NOT about remorse. It was about premeditation and not a single piece of evidence was introduced that proved premeditation.
